The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest manages resources to meet sustainable resource management objectives. Most National Forest System lands are open and free of charge for your use and enjoyment. However, some areas and activities do require fees or permits to help maintain, manage, and improve the amenities that you enjoy.
Contact a local office with questions about permits, and to confirm hours and availability of service.
Learn about special use permits that may be required for water transmission, road and utility right-of-ways, research, events and commercial activities.
